The North Face Trail Lite Sleeping Bag: 20F Down Blue Coral/Reef Waters/NPF, Short/Right Zip

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I have been taking The North Face Trail Lite Sleeping Bag 20F on everything from backpacking trips with significant elevation to casual weekend camping and it handles both ends of that spectrum without asking for much in return.

The recycled down lofts up quickly after unpacking and holds heat consistently through cold nights, and the half-length zipper keeps the foot box sealed and warm without any cold spots creeping in from the bottom.

At just over two pounds for the regular it packs down small enough to leave room in the bag for everything else a full backpacking kit demands."Some sleeping bags are built for one specific kind of trip, and some are built to go on all of them.

The North Face Trail Lite Sleeping Bag 20F sits firmly in the second camp, a three-season down bag that moves as easily from a backyard setup to a remote mountain objective as you do, without asking you to think too hard about whether it is the right choice.

The North Face filled the Trail Lite with 600-fill recycled down blended with recycled feathers in the torso for lofty, reliable warmth down to 20 degrees, while a polyester toebox adds targeted durability where the bag sees the most contact and compression.

A recycled nylon face fabric and lining both carry DWR treatment that sheds light moisture and extends the down's ability to loft in damp conditions, and the mummy shape wraps close to the body to trap heat efficiently without excess dead air to warm.

The half-length zipper simplifies getting in and out while keeping the lower half of the bag fully sealed against drafts, and the included stuff sack compresses the whole system down to 8 by 15 inches for a regular, leaving meaningful room in the pack for everything else a three-season kit requires.

Backed by a lifetime warranty and built with recycled materials throughout, the Trail Lite is the kind of bag you buy once and take everywhere.
